QUESTION
Can someone just give away their baby without following any legal process?
Asked on Aug 03rd, 2017 on Child Custody - California
More details to this question:
I found out I was adopted, and it turns out there wasn't any paperwork filled out or court order saying my adoption was legal. It was like a 'Moses sent down the river' type of agreement. I was born in Las Vegas, Nevada but raised on the Central coast of California. I am currently applying for a state position and am worried that my (adoptive) parents could get in trouble for insurance fraud because I have no documentation verifying my adoption.

A parent can allow another person to exercise temporary custody. One would think that your "parents" would have had a difficult time enrolling you in school or exercising legal custody rights without documentation. You can use the information on your birth certificate for any applications or other legal needs.
